Some day I think he'll win an MVP, I really do. |
Some guys get by with a lot of hard-hit balls that are outs, they get a ton of runs scored for them. You look further than just results. You see what they guy's featuring and that will tell you everything. |
Sometimes the harder you try the tougher it gets. (Towers) will be there in the end. He's just going through a tough stretch right now. He's always won for us and we expect him to again. He's just off to a slow start. |
Sometimes there's personality conflicts. He was frustrated. Things were said he probably regrets. |
Talk's cheap. They're still the teams to beat. But I think we've closed [the gap] a little bit. |
Ted (Lilly) has a bad back right now, something he felt the day after his last start (March 26). So we'll give him an extra day of rest and have Josh (Towers) start the second game and Lilly the third. |
That first week of the season, without having an off-day, you never know how far the starters are going to go. So we may need that extra arm down there. |
That gave us some breathing room. |
That hurts. That might have put us back into that thing. |
That just tells you something about Dave Bush, because he threw 100 pitches the other day. |
That knocked something out, didn't it? I ain't fixing it. |
That was a character builder. We've got winners on this team. That wasn't easy. Beckett was rolling. We got some big clutch home runs. That was outstanding. That's one where you come all the way back -- when you end up winning those games, it does a lot for you. |
That'll be his debut. But hopefully he pitches well and has a chance to stay here a while. |
That's hurt him. There's no question about it. |
That's just one of those things your gut tells you. But if you have a lead, you've got to go with defense. |
